Why does one Vimeo video not display in the Webflow preview, even though it is set to public and embeddable, while other Vimeo videos work fine and can be embedded using the HTML Embed widget?

There could be several reasons why a particular Vimeo video is not displaying in the Webflow preview, even though it is set to public and embeddable:

1. Privacy settings: Double-check the privacy settings of the Vimeo video. Make sure it is set to "Anyone" or "Only on sites I choose". If the video is set to "Only on Vimeo.com" or "Only people with the private link," it won't be visible in the Webflow preview.

2. Embed restrictions: Vimeo allows you to control where your videos can be embedded. It is possible that the video in question has some embed restrictions set specifically, which prevent it from being embedded on certain domains. Ensure that the restrictions are not conflicting with Webflow.

3. Cross-domain policy: Vimeo has a cross-domain policy that can sometimes interfere with video embedding. This could be due to settings on Vimeo's side or specific settings on the user's browser. Cross-domain policy issues might lead to the video not displaying correctly in the Webflow preview.

4. HTML Embed code: Ensure that the HTML embed code used to embed the Vimeo video in Webflow is correct. Double-check for any typos, missing or extra characters, and validate the code syntax. Even a minor mistake can prevent the video from loading.

5. SSL/HTTPS issues: If your Webflow site has SSL enabled (https), but the Vimeo video is embedded using an HTTP URL, some browsers may block the video from loading due to mixed-content warnings. To resolve this, make sure the Vimeo video is embedded using an HTTPS URL.

6. Cache issue: Clear your browser cache or try viewing the site in an Incognito/Private window. Sometimes, cached files can prevent videos from loading correctly. Clearing cache and refreshing the preview might resolve the issue.

If you have tried all these steps and the Vimeo video still doesn't display in the Webflow preview, it's advisable to reach out to Webflow support for further assistance. Provide them with the Vimeo video URL and any additional relevant information to help them investigate the issue more effectively.
